The Alan Norman Observatory (TANO)
The current main equipment I use...
Telescopes & Mounts
Telescope
Sky-Watcher Esprit ED Triplet
100mm, f/5.5
The imaging workhorse in my set up. A triplet APO giving a mid0-range wide-field of view. Paired with the HEQ5, is great for travellig round the UK to dark sites and star-parties.
Telescope
GSO Ritchey Cretien
200mm, f/8
This is based in the observatory, and despite being owned for close to 3 years, has not had much to do! It's paired with a ZWO ASI533MC Pro on an AZ-EQ6, and gives a great field of view for smaller targets.
Telescope
Revelation Dobsonian
350mm, f/5
The latest addition, so I can do some observing while the camera's do their bit!
Mount
Sky-Watcher
AZ-AQ6, GEM
The observatory mount, currently working with thge RC8
Mount
Sky-Watcher
HEQ5 Pro , GEM
This a great workhorse for going to star-parties and local dark sites. Upgraded with the Rowan belt-mod.
